I stayed Friday- Saturday. The grass was overgrown. It was cut Sunday morning as we were leaving. There was a dead tarantula left on the picnic table. The pool closed early. The room was dirty. The linens and towels were dirty. I know it’s a cheap hotel. But I’ve stayed here many times, and this was by far the worst. I visit my fam here. I’ll be changing my location moving forward.

Good but could be better

The suite was a good size and the bed was comfortable. There was a microwave, mini fridge and sink in the sitting area which was nice. My only suggestions would be that they get new towels, the ones there were dingy and rough. Also in the bathroom there was a missing towel bar which was fine but the broken parts were still on the wall. I suggest either replacing the towel bar or at least remove the broken parts off the wall. Lastly, there was a faux leather ottoman that pieces of the “leather” were flaking off. I would remove that piece of furniture. Overall, for the price, it was okay for our stay.

Property itself along with management was great. However, I was in room 104 and that bed was beyond painful and uncomfortable. I am not the only person who has left a review about that bed. I viewed the reviews too late. Staff, please replace that mattress.. I would stay again but next time I need to see if the bed is good before booking.
